🌍 Special Report: Europe spent 2025 building the architecture for transformative carbon mechanisms. 2026 will show if it holds. Key developments: • EU adopted a 90% emissions reduction target by 2040 (vs. 1990 levels) • Up to 5% of EU reductions could come from international carbon credits starting 2036 • Germany approved €476M for carbon removal support • First EU CDR methodologies expected early 2026 Here's the tension: carbon market integration pushed forward even as corporate sustainability reporting pulled back. For covered emitters and trading partners, 2026 will be a critical year in Europe. CBAM costs begin, SAF compliance data emerges, and EU carbon removal procurement launches. Carbon Direct's Special Policy Edition of The Navigator explores these dynamics in detail: https://lnkd.in/enKqP4HW #ClimatePolicy #EUClimateLaw #UKClimatePolicy #NetZero

Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs) for Low-Carbon Materials Join us on Tuesday, October 14 | 9:00 AM PDT Register today: https://lnkd.in/g4FrQZzg The construction sector accounts for a major share of global greenhouse gas emissions, especially from cement, concrete, and steel. One emerging solution is Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs), market-based instruments that can verify emissions reductions and accelerate adoption of low-carbon materials. Join experts from Carbon Direct, Microsoft, and Stegra as they explore how #EACs are being used to scale low-carbon cement, concrete, and steel production. 🎤 Speakers include: Johan M. Reunanen, Climate Impact Lead, Stegra Julia Fidler, Director of Market Development – Energy, Connectivity & Sustainability Microsoft David Madrid Garcia, Climate Science & Markets Manager Carbon Direct Katherine Vaz Gomes, PhD, Decarbonization Engineer Carbon Direct John Dees, PhD, Director of Fuels and Industrial Commodities Carbon Direct Learn what defines a high-quality EAC, how they drive procurement and supply-chain decarbonization, and why leaders like Microsoft are integrating them into their climate strategies.
